Abstract

This paper compares and analyzes the domestic OTT services to access their success factors, strategies and examine the domestic OTT leader's wavve's unique differentiation strategy. It is a comparative study of the top five market share services based on the operator and content's key success factors criteria, revenue structure, personalization, interactive media and cooperation. As a result, the common success factors were contents that reflected the characteristics of the operators, hybrid VOD, hybrid filtering, real-time participation interaction, alliances between the same and heterogeneous industries, and utilization of existing business areas. In addition, the study confirmed that it expanded the scope of the project and operated the contents efficiently by introducing one or more business strategies. wavve has been widely validated with its content, while B2C has long-term benefits and overseas use services, and B2B has a systematic use system, differentiating itself from other services. This paper can be the foundation for identifying the strengths and differences of each service on 2021, entering the domestic OTT industry, and establishing competitive strategies.

본 논문은 국내 OTT 서비스들을 비교 분석하여 그 성공 요인과 전략을 도출하고, 국내기업을 선도하고 있는 웨이브만의 차별화 전략을 알아본 것이다. 시장 점유율 상위 다섯 개의 서비스를 사업자 및 콘텐츠, 수익 구조, 개인화, 인터랙티브 미디어 그리고 cooperation의 기준으로 성공 요인을 비교한 뒤, 사업전략을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 국내 OTT 서비스들의 공통된 성공 요인은 사업자의 특성이 반영된 콘텐츠, Hybrid VOD, 하이브리드 필터링, 실시간 참여 인터랙티비티 그리고 동·이종 산업 간 제휴 및 기존 사업 분야 활용으로 나타났다. 또한, 하나 이상의 사업전략을 도입하여 사업 범위를 확장하고 콘텐츠를 효율적으로 운영했음을 확인했다. 웨이브는 대중적으로 검증된 자사 콘텐츠를 보유했으며, B2C에는 장기 혜택과 해외 이용 서비스를, B2B는 체계적인 이용권 시스템을 운영하여 다른 서비스들과 차별화되었다. 이러한 결과를 통해 본 논문이 2021년 각 서비스의 강점과 차별점을 파악하고, 성장기에 놓인 국내 OTT 산업으로의 진입, 경쟁전략 수립하는 데 토대가 될 것으로 기대한다.
